The Golden Age

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Those who were ordered to supervise the execution were Dali Temple Secretary and Xing Department Minister Zhu Dongshan, and other officials from the Department of Yamen also came to watch.

The officials sat under the canopy and looked at the prisoners in the Ministry of War who were kneeling on the wooden platform in the rain, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

The prisoners waiting to be executed on the execution stage were once their colleagues. They even lived happily in the same band and were drunk at the same wine table, but now they have to watch their heads be chopped off.

The rain falls on the eaves, and then gathers down along the water channel beside the tiles, forming a small waterfall from the sky.

The market was near the execution ground, and there were many buildings, and the rain fell from the eaves, crackling and hitting the bluestone ground.

Qin Xiao looked at the officials on the execution platform with a stern look, without a trace of sympathy. At this time, he didn't even have too deep hatred, and it was just a kind of sadness in his heart.

The real power of Dali Temple Secretary did not have Zhu Dongshan Zhong, Minister of Criminal Justice, but this time it was the prison officer, who looked bored at the prisoner on the execution platform, and his mood did not fluctuate at all, until Zhu Dongshan, the Minister of Criminal Justice sitting next to him, approached and whispered. After two sentences, Dali Siqing showed a slight smile on his face, nodded slightly, and said two sentences to Zhu Dongshan.

Zhu Dongshan got up, held the will in his hand, and declared it loudly, but at this time the rain was too strong and the crackling rain interfered with his voice. Except for a few people close to Pengtai, most people could not hear Zhu Dongshan clearly. What he was talking about, he could only see his mouth moving from a distance.

However, everyone didn’t care what Zhu Dongshan was talking about. Today, countless people came here in the rain just to see a group of treacherous ministers. They waited until the Dali Temple Qing took a bamboo stick and got up and shouted "cut". Immediately after throwing out the bamboo sticks, the onlookers became excited and crowded one by one, hoping that when the officials fell their heads, they could see more clearly.

Some even took out the rotten eggs that had been prepared a long time ago from their arms, squeezed them forward, and slammed them at the criminals on stage, roaring and berating the traitorous officials for leaving the country.

As a result, more people smashed things on the stage one after another. Those who hadn't prepared anything directly grabbed the mud from the ground and threw them on the stage. The sentiment was enthusiastic and seemed to tear the officials on stage to pieces.

Not long ago, these people on the stage were all above them. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to meet the previous side or get close.

But at this time, he knelt on the execution stand facing the people.

The people's insults and throws did not make the heartbroken prisoners feel the slightest emotion, but just lowered their heads to face the destined fate.

The guards on the edge of the execution platform had formed a circle, straightened out their spears, and forced the people back.

On the wooden platform, the executioner next to Fan Wenzheng spit, put the torture knife back behind him, with one foot forward, stretched out his left hand and gently pressed the back of Fan Wenzheng's neck, confirmed the position of the joints, and then drank. With a sound, the blade flashed.

When the knife fell, it made a muffled noise like a sharp knife cut into the pork.

With a brush, blood spurted from the headless cavity, and Fan Wenzheng's head slumped on the wooden table. He seemed to be still in fear of the executioner's torture knife, and rolled up. With the flow of rain, it has not stopped, rolled to the edge of the wooden table, and fell down.

Almost at the same time, the other executioners had executed all the other prisoners, with a dozen heads rolling on the stage. In addition to Fan Wenzheng's head, another four or five heads also rolled off the stage.

Previously, the enthusiastic people saw a few heads on the ground, and they all retreated in terror.

Where the head rolls, the blood marks left by the rain

One punch, quickly faded away.

Finally, the people cheered. Qin Xiao in the crowd raised his head and looked at the sky. The heavy rain was heavy, and many onlookers did not hold umbrellas. Qin Xiao was one of them. The rain covered Qin Xiao’s body. Wet, he just meditated in his heart, whether these dozen or so heads could really bring the dead souls of Xiling Transformation to rest.

Dali Siqing and Zhu Dongshan whispered to each other, they both laughed, then got up and left Pengtai.

The Ministry of War case ended with 14 heads of war officials. For most people, this was the best result.

The blame for the loss of Xiling fell on this group of military officials. The execution of these dozens of officials in public also showed the imperial court’s anger at the loss of Xiling. So people’s anger at the loss of Xiling was greatly eased, at least In people's minds, the saint is wise, and the culpability of the negligent officials is held. Even a heavy court official like Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the saint still punishes the crime without any protection.

In this case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not involve hundreds of people like the big cases in earlier years, and it was considered to be handled properly.

The officials of the Criminal Department headed by Lu Junzhong did their best to investigate the case, and the merits were not small. The saint gave Lu Junzhong a Qingyang Bo and rewarded hundreds of households, and other officials of the Criminal Department, large and small, also received rewards.

Lu Junzhong has been sitting in the position of Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry for more than ten years. He has been as stable as a mountain. He has done many big cases for the saints, but he has never been given the title of knight. However, this time because of the case of the Ministry of War, he won the title of Qingyang Earl. Many people did not expect it.

Qin Xiao didn't have any interest in the award Lu Junzhong received. He just hoped to see Han Yunong as soon as possible.

The Ministry of War case has been closed, and the criminals have been sentenced. According to the truth, Han Yunong, who only existed as a witness, should have left the Ministry of Justice long ago, and there is no need to wait for the execution.

However, after the execution, Qin Xiao still didn't see Han Yunong return. He ran to the Ministry of Justice. Zhu Dongshan came out to receive him. He only said that the case was too big. Although the case was closed, there were still some finishing work to be done. Up to three days, Han Yunong could do. Leave the Criminal Department.

Qin Xiao got the assurance, and his mood was much better.

The day of execution on the eighth day of March was heavy rain. On the tenth day of March, the spring was bright in Kyoto again, and the weather began to warm up. The two cases of Hongling Zhenren and Fan Wenzheng are now a thing of the past. There are new things happening in Kyoto every day. Things, not many people are interested in continuing to talk about it.

The loss of Xiling, after more than a dozen people fell on their heads, seems to have become a trivial matter for most people.

The common people only felt that since the imperial court had already beheaded the officers of the Ministry of War because of the loss of Xiling, then naturally they would find a way to quell the rebellion in Xiling. This is a national matter. The court is free to care about it.

For Qiuniang, those officials had nothing to do with her.

She just wants to buy a cruise ship as soon as possible.

Spring has begun in February, and March is the time when Yangliu Yiyi on both sides of the river and the most out-of-towners visit Beijing. March of each year is the best time for cruise business.

For the boat ladies in Kyoto, this year ushered in a joyous and encouraging news.

The Taiping Society, which controls Rao Shui and Half of Luoshui River, suddenly released news. If you punt a boat in the river channel controlled by the Taiping Society, the boat girls can be exempted from paying the river channel fee, and once tourists harass the boat girl, as long as there are people from the Taiping Society nearby. , The ship’s wife just yells, the Taipinghui people will unconditionally give out

Head hit and hug.

No one knows why the Taiping Society suddenly became so kind, but for the boat ladies, this is of course a dream thing.

And after the boat ladies on the Tsing Yi Hall heard the news, many people began to come to the Taipinghui river. Of course, Tsing Yi Tang could not stop the boat ladies from going. For a time, cruise ships shuttled back and forth on the river controlled by the Taipinghui. Constantly, the river course of Tsing Yitang began to become deserted, but the river course of the Taipinghui was very lively.

The other boat girls are busy every day, but Qiu Niang is very anxious.

There are hundreds of cruise ships on the Kyoto River, and each cruise ship has an owner.

If you want to do this business, it is essential to have your own cruise ship, and there are not many ways to obtain cruise ships.

The most straightforward way is to go to the Boathouse in Kyoto to order a boat directly, but the price of the boat customized by the Boathouse is not low, and after paying the deposit, it is impossible to get a boat without ten and a half months.

In comparison, the most affordable method is to buy an old boat from someone else.

The old ships are not only cheap, but they are also very quick to pay for the ship.

Often some boat girls really can’t stick to it and sell the cruise ship in their hands, or some people want to exchange for a new ship, they can only sell the old ship, so that they can pick up the leak and buy the cruise ship at the cheapest price.

However, it’s not easy to buy old boats in this peak season for cruise ships, not to mention that as soon as the news that Taiping will waive river fees, there are very few boat sellers, but there are not a few people who want to buy an old boat to make a living. Qiu Niang asked everywhere. It was hard to find out that someone was going to sell the ship, and when someone was found, the old ship had been taken away by others.

Qiuniang was annoyed.

At the beginning, her boat was an old boat bought for five taels of silver. It took almost two years to use it, but it was sunk in the Luoshui River by the people of Tsing Yi Tang.

Although Qin Xiao forcibly took compensation from the people in Tsing Yi Tang, Qiuniang also received fifty taels of silver as the money to buy the ship, but she could not find the owner of the goods, and a new ship cost almost ten taels of silver, but she had it on hand. Not enough.

What’s terrible is that I haven’t bought a boat these days, so I can’t do business. The family has to eat every day, and the capital of 50 taels of silver has to be spent. Even if there are old boats for sale at this time, because the situation is very good. The price is also rising, and the money on hand may not necessarily be able to buy a boat.

Sometimes she can’t wait to sell Gu Baiyi’s books all over the house, pooling money to buy a boat, but in her heart she also knows that Gu Baiyi has nothing to do, but treats those books as treasures. If she sells the books, Gu Baiyi was afraid that he would not survive.

After a few days, the ship had not been bought, business could not be done, and Qiuniang was upset. Gu Baiyi couldn't see a good face when he went home every day.

I ran for another morning today. I really found out that there was an old ship for sale, but when I came to the door, the ship was much worn out than my previous ship. It cost seven taels of silver to open its mouth, bargaining, and in the end, no six taels were killed. Qianzi would never make a move, Qiuniang had no choice but to return in anguish, returning to the door of her house, still mumbling that the man was greedy for money, this year must be bad luck.

When I returned to Kushui Alley, I was already eating. I returned to the courtyard tiredly. I saw the tall horse at a glance. Before I thought about it, I heard a voice and laughed: "Sister Qiu, are you back? It is the meal mouth, you should be back, I brought you a snack." A person walked around behind the horse, raised his arm, and was carrying a bag of pastries.
